Plant like 6 passworded GSCs at your belt, mine in a retriever or better, then when all cans are full, retrieve with an industrial.

Rinse and repeat.

Also don't mine anything but Kernite if you're in HS.

Ah, so Kernite is the way to go then. It's just my 60 day mining alt, training only mining skills and the Osprey has a pretty good mining amount with the right skills, atleast it seems. also heard it's the best trial mining ship. But damn, mining in EvE is the boringest shit I've ever done in a game.

The rat bounties in null make me feel pain when looking at mining income numbers.

Also yeah a cyno is a brightass beacon that ships with jump drives (captals, supercapitals, jump freighters, black ops?) can jump to if they've got enough fuel and are in fleet. Said beacon is visible and warpable from anywhere in the system (except covert cynos), and the ship maintaining it is a complete sitting duck.

Wow, thanks. I heard Black Ops ships are bad, is there any truth to this?

Also, what are Cynos?

In a general fight yes there bad. But ganking, "oh my".

Cyno's are a created via a Cyno Generator that allow black ops Jump Drive or Portal as well as Capital jump drives to lock on to it from X amount of jumps. The cyno requires He-3 and has a cycle time of 30 seconds(i think) once active the ship can not move.

Interdiction is for fast tackle as well as warp-ins(get behind the enemy fleet and warp to a distance) that's close enough to the enemy fleet. They do well at this because they go about 4000(6000 m/s overheated).

Meh.. I've been thinking of returning to EVE Online after over a year of inactivity.

I got fed up when I lost my 40m ISK ship last winter and haven't played since. I've played EVE Online on and off since 2008, but believe it or not: last winter was the first time I entered lowsec, did missions and actually used weapons. Before I that, I had only hauled, mined and traded. Then my expensive ship got gatecamped and I lost all interest.

That's why I'm never going to do any of those things again.. But trading and hauling in highsec does seem interesting. I just don't know if it's worth it, those things seem interesting but quickly get boring.

That seems dangerous and I'm pretty much guaranteed to lose my ship.. Hell, I've got a Drake and I paniced when one belt rat frigate attacked me in highsec. I'm just not that interested in the violent aspect of EVE, I'm too paranoid about losing my ship.. :/

That's why I've got ships like Drake and Noctis that I never use.. Noctis is useless because there's no salvage in highsec and I'm too paranoid to use Drake; even in highsec or in noob missions.

I actually bought my first drake two weeks ago, whenever a neut comes into the system im ratting in i warp around like a madman and leave, but i just know *at some point* this drake is going to get blown up, i probably shouldnt be flying it as i can't afford to replace it (hence the ratting *in* it) but i don't think i'd get mad, i'd just have to bring the thrasher jewboat out and salvage some more, just seems part of the game.

Yes, please don't assume I'm an idiot and haven't tried to do my own research. I know how dickish you people are in this thread, so I only post here as a last resort. It's rare even then that I'd find help because you just berate me for being an idiot, or complaining too much.
